Yaskawa Achieves Milestone

Waukegan, Ill.-- Yaskawa America Inc. manufactured its one millionth
inverter in the United
States this month marking a significant
milestone for the drives and motion control company.

“This is a major milestone for our
company, as it represents our commitment to building our products in the United States,”
Mike Knapek, president and chief operating officer, said. “While we are
certainly a global player, our manufacturing presence is heavily focused here.”

Producing product in the United States gives Yaskawa America
the ability to deliver quickly when our customers need it. “Yaskawa America has outperformed our competition with quick
deliveries even with the recent component shortage issue due to the Japan earthquake,” Knapek said.

“We benefit greatly from the work
ethic of our employees and the commitment they make to making quality products on
time for our customers.”
